(was: drm/ast: Move cursor vmap calls out of commit tail)

Ast has vmap calls in its cursor's atomic_update function. This is not
supported as vmap might aquire the dma reservation lock. While at it,
cleanup the whole cursor code: the patchset removes all possible runtime
errors from the atomic_update function and reduces the overhead from
vmap calls on the HW cursor BOs to a minimum.

Patches 1 to 3 update the cursor code and prepare before the refactoring.

Patch 4 and 5 inline the cursor update logic into the rsp cursor-plane
functions. This is mostly about moving code around.

Patches 6 to 9 add a dedicated cursor plane that maintains the two BOs
for HW cursors. The HW cursor BOs are permanently pinned and vmapped
while the cursor plane is initialized. Thus removing the related vmap
operations from atomic_update.

Finally patch 10 converts ast cursors to struct drm_shadow_plane_state.
BOs with cursor image data from userspace are vmapped in prepare_fb and
vunampped in cleanup_fb. The actual update of the cursor image is being
moved from prepare_fb to atomic_update.

With the patchset applied, all cursor preparation is performed before
the commit-tail functions; while the actual update is performed within.

Tested by running X11 and Weston on ast hardware.
